“As coronavirus moves from pandemic to endemic, and as we transition away from crisis management to a more normal way of life, it is the right time,” Murphy said of ending his briefings.
New Jersey, a state of 9.2 million residents, has reported 33,005 COVID-19 deaths in that time — 30,037 confirmed fatalities and 2,968 probable fatalities. That total is akinthe fourth-most coronavirus deaths per capitaBut Murphy and other officials of late have told residents the pandemic is in a much different place now, with New Jersey’s vaccination rate among the highest in the nation and medical experts having a much better grasp on treating the virus.
The statewide transmission rate increased to 0.83 Saturday, up from 0.77 Friday. Any rate below 1 indicates the outbreak is on the decline with each new case leading to fewer than one additional case. When the rate is 1, that means the outbreak has leveled off at its current numbers. At least 9,301 of the state’s COVID-19 deaths have been among residents and staff members at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, according toThere were active outbreaks at 355 facilities, resulting in 9,187 current cases among residents and 10,535 cases among staff as of the latest data.— has started to spread in small numbers in New Jersey. Officials have said it’s too soon to know how the variant will affect both the state and nation.
For the four-week span from Jan. 23 to Feb. 19, New Jersey reported 63,339 total COVID-19 cases, leading to 2,136 hospitalizations, and 277 deaths.
GovMurphy told us zero cases were the goal. Hmmm
Work around tons of people everyday- never hear/ see ANY of this from anyone.
Thank you for these daily updates. They have been very helpful. I’m sure you don’t hear that enough based on the comments that usually accompany these posts. It’s a shame how these past two years highlighted the even more harmful epidemics of ignorance and lack of civility.
'as states shifts from pandemic to endemic' lol at politicians manufacturing biological reality by fiat
